Chapter 6 I Want The Child In Her Belly_1

Hasty footsteps accompanied by a woman's sigh reached her ears, and Gu Xiaonuan's face turned cold as she shot a piercing glance at the immensely valuable door to the study.

"Oh, Xiaonuan, you nearly scared mom to death!"

Zhao Ying, flustered and anxious, pounced towards the stunned Gu Xiaonuan, barely stopping herself from bursting into tears and embracing her.

Gu Qingyuan walked in timidly, escorted by a bodyguard, his gaze first settled on Gu Xiaonuan, then noticed the elderly man with silver hair, and the young man lounging beside him.

Without leaving any trace, Si Lingtian pinched his grandson. "Aren't you going to greet them? Have you eaten all the manners I taught you when you were a child, you brat?"

Yuchen didn't even lift an eyelid, his voice carrying a trace of amusement, "Mr. Gu, Madam Gu."

Where would Gu Qingyuan dare to call himself "Mr. Gu" in the Si Family's presence? Wiping his sweat with a handkerchief and fawningly, he said, "How could I, my humble company isn't even one-hundredth the size of a small subsidiary of the Si Family, how could I dare claim the title Mr. Gu? Mr. Si, your words are too kind and truly flatter me."

His company was on the brink of bankruptcy, barely hanging on; he was anything but a "Mr." at this moment, as he was overwhelmed with the company's dire straits.

With a disdainful glance at the middle-aged man, Si Yuchen scoffed, small courage, yet big desires.

Anyone who dares to scheme against Si Yuchen must be prepared to face his thunderous wrath.

"You're too modest! Little Gu, your company is merely facing some temporary difficulties. The business world changes in the blink of an eye, who knows what the future will hold!" Si Lingtian said meaningfully as he glanced at Gu Xiaonuan, his profound tone making Gu Qingyuan freeze for a moment.

Sitting with his legs crossed, Si Yuchen cut to the chase, "Tell me, how much money do you want?"

Zhao Ying had been holding Gu Xiaonuan and wiping away her tears, but at the mention of money, she immediately perked up, "The Gu Family does not sell their daughter!"

As if to make sure everyone knew how much she loved Gu Xiaonuan, she clutched her hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

Si Yuchen gave Zhao Ying a sidelong glance, from the moment she entered the door, "Did I say I wanted to buy your daughter?"

This woman really didn't need to be so eager to sell her daughter, it was off-putting.

Zhao Ying was left speechless by Si Yuchen's retort; she stood there awkwardly, forcing a smile, and was abruptly shaken off by Gu Xiaonuan's hand.

"She's not my mom, and they have no right to sell me!"

No matter what the situation was right now, she couldn't let Zhao Ying, that bitch, sell her off and then count the money for them!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ying's face changed color instantly, and in a low voice she cursed, "Bitch, don't act too high and mighty! Don't forget who is paying to take care of your half-dead mother."

If their Gu Family truly went under, Gu Qingyuan's ex-wife wouldn't be able to survive either.

Gu Xiaonuan gritted her teeth, facing Si Yuchen's scrutinizing gaze, she felt powerless to retaliate.

Gu Qingyuan spoke up then, in his characteristic quivering voice, "Mr...Mr. Si, are you planning to invest in our company?"

It was as if a pie had fallen from the sky, but he did not believe that he, who had always been unlucky, would be hit by such good fortune.

And why was Xiaonuan here?

What did Zhao Ying mean by her words just now? He didn't understand at all!

"Correct. I can invest and revitalize your company," Si Yuchen said, under the slightly unhappy gaze of Si Lingtian. Then, he dropped even more heart-racing words, "However, the price for my investment is, I want the child inside her womb!"
